I've tried the plum sparkle mascara and it's actually very subtle. It doesn't work very well alone, but on top of another mascara it's pretty nice. :)

Ooh I can't wait for the Dior holiday collection... I really want the Couture Golds palette. (I haven't yet decided what I'll be wearing to work Xmas party this year, other than that it will involve Couture Golds.. haha!)
Anyone getting excited about the Mac holiday collection? I'm quite excited about the mes and a few other bits and bobs. :) Bring on next week!

Ooh, I don't know if I should get the quint. I have Endless Shine from last year and it's pretty similar. (Comparison swatch over at The Beauty Look Book: http://www.thebeautylookbook.com/2011/10/dior-couture-golds-554-eyeshadow.html)
I was scared that the gold mascara wouldn't deposit much colour but it seemed ok, the store never had the plummy mascara out - it sounds pretty!

It's this seller: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/topnailshop Their feedback is only 99.6%, but they have such a huge volume of sales, there's still an awful lot of positive feedback, so I thought I'd give it a go. They also sell OPI, Essie and Orly as well as Ghina Glaze.

oohh would you mind linking me to your seller? that is very cheap!

yup! i always get mine from the states too!

I hope everybody has had a good start to your week! My day was pretty manic and just slipped away so I am happy to be home from work!

on average what were the shipping costs when buying a few at once? will they discount the shipping costs?

It was $4.50 for one, and then $2.50 each, so I ended up paying $19.50 for 7 bottles. Not overly cheap, but it's similar to others I've seen and at 2 quid a bottle, it's still so cheap. :)

Welcome, nightingails :) I actually went to the new Westfield in Stratford, but thanks for your help :)
Lovely topic I just discovered! Totally overhelmed by all the info. I have been drooling after Clarisonic for a good while, keep waiting a good deal on it.
For the lady who couldn't find Stila stand in Boots Westfield, if you mean the White City one it's on the ground floor, on the side right next to Too Faced. it's not too far from tills on the right handsight. If I remember correctly on the other side of it it had polishes.
Charlotte, I got my Clarisonic in Berry colour only because the blue one sold out quickly.
Mia (and Plus) comes with a universal power adapter, as far as I am aware, but not sure whether it will actually have a UK plug in the set, but a converter plug costs a couple of pounds on Ebay anyways. I'm also a bit afraid that i'll end up paying customs charges, so I'll need to be a bit inventive. That's why I'm happy its a CP.
If you can find it with a discount in UK, go for that!
And 45 pounds is a really good deal!

I thinks it is firmly on my wishlist now, planning on buying it next week when I get paid, going to go for the mia, which colour is anyone's guess. I have factored it into next months budget which means I will probably skip the holiday collection, I am meant to be on a no buy anyway, and i have a feeling I won;t really use what I want to buy.

All I need to do is decide between ordering from space NK, feel unique or look fantastic?

Anyone got any suggestions which would be the quickest to deliver, they all have it on sale for £120?

Feel Unique delivery is kinda slow but if you recommend a friend, your friend will get 10% off their first order and you will get a £5 voucher when they've placed an order. You can use another email address of your own and get both discounts ;)

Look Fantastic tends to be a bit quicker. LF & Feel Unique both do free delivery, whereas Space NK is around £5 I think (which is why I never order from them unless it's something I can't buy anywhere else). Occasionally LookFantastic have discount codes, I'm not aware of any at the moment but it's worth checking vouchercodes.co.uk and places like that.

Just a quick heads up, guys. I popped into TK Maxx today and they had Color Club nail polish sets for the amazing price of £7.99! That's £1 per polish! They even had the latest colours which is fab.

I'm a bit sad though - I spent SO much today that I'm going to HAVE to go on a spending ban. No Xmas goodies for me! And I loved the look of the Gareth Pugh nail polishes! Grrrr!
